Green Pasture Butter Oil / Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend 120 caps

Dr. Weston A. Price discovered High Vitamin Butter Oil in the 1930's. The pinnacle of his X-Factor discovery was the extreme synergistic effect between High Vitamin Butter Oil and traditional cod liver oil. "One without the other did not do his patients justice, but the two together worked like magic". X-Factor Gold High Vitamin Butter Oil is made from dairy oil extracted without heat from cows that eat 100% rapidly growing grass. The speed of the grass growth, timing of the grazing of this grass, species of grass, climate and extraction method are all important to make real X-Factor Gold High Vitamin Butter Oil.

The Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil brings us back in time, when cod liver oil was truly a sacred food. The Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil is lacto-fermented and extracted without heat. The fish are wild caught in the Arctic region.

FAQs

Expiration Dates vs. Manufacture Dates:

All manufactures of dietary supplements must have in place the FDA’s updated compliancy regulations called current good manufacturing practices (cGMP's). What does this mean to you, the consumer? Within these lengthy new regulations come several confusing surprises. One of these new surprises is the use of Manufacture date verses Expiration date. You will see either an Expiration Date or Manufacture Date on your supplements. Since the FDA published their Final Rule on 21CFR Part 111 in 2007 for current good manufacturing practices (cGMP’s) they have given manufactures the option of using either an Expiration Date or a Manufacture Date on their finished products.

The FDA declined to add a requirement for expiration /shelf-life dating, although the agency encourages its use. It seems the FDA believes there are not generally available methods for all ingredients sufficient to determine expiration dating, especially for botanical dietary ingredients. Manufacturers that do use an expiration date must now have scientific data/studies to support the selection of this date. If they do not have the supporting data the FDA could, at their discretion, impose fines, sanctions, recalls or closures on the company who manufactures the product.

In general, to label with an expiration date the product label has to have something to test to the exp. date. Such as, if one added vitamin A to a product and lists it on the label they must test at time of manufacturing and at the date of the expiration to confirm that the same level of vitamin A is found in the product as defined on the label. Without this added ingredient there is no label claim to test the product to meet an expiration date.

Another example is when a drug is manufactured the efficacy of the labeled claim of the drug must be tested and confirmed to be active through the expiration period.

Expiration and manufacture dates: What’s one to think?

The FDA guidelines do not include methodology or suggested procedures for the supporting data/studies; instead, they suggest “This is an evolving model.” What this means is that additional extensive stability studies must be undertaken that can last sometimes well over 6 months and will eventually increase costs sharply that will be passed on to the consumer. Most manufacturers are already burdened with the task of keeping the costs of products down on a regular basis.

While all this information could be confusing for some, there is a light at the end of the tunnel with respect to Manufacture Date verses Expiration Date. Here are some Pros & Cons of this Proposed Rule:

CON:

When a product is bottled & labeled for distribution if the manufacture chooses to use the “Expiration Date,” additional holding time for stability studies must be added on before it can be sold at the consumer level. The finished product is then about 6-12 months old before it is even released for sale to you the consumer reducing freshness and overall efficacy, the very thing you want in your health products has now been decreased.

The buying public does not have access to freshness discussion with an exp date. An exp date is best suited for drugs and products that are highly processed/industrialized, or for products that have high level sugars and proteins that are prone to high level of bacterial growth over time.

PRO:

An expiration date does not identify when the product is packaged so the buying public really does not understand how fresh a product is or is not if a exp date is provided rather than a manufacturing date. Our oils are extracted without heat or introduced chemicals but rather enzymatic and bacterial culturing/digestion/fermentation. Many perceive our products are better with age as the living essences within the product are not destroyed.

While the FDA is caught in a quagmire of undetermined testing and validity, freshness and reliability is available via Manufacture dating. With Manufacture dating the finished product is ready to be sold at the consumer level without the extra-added 6-month wait. As a result, the product you purchase will not be decreased in freshness or efficacy.

Green Pasture Products have chosen to use the “Manufacture Date” as many other companies are currently using instead of the Expiration Date, so you will receive the freshest product available.

About Green Pasture, the company

Founders Dave and Barb Wetzel have created a family-owned business, offering sacred foods prepared as our ancestors did prior to the industrial food revolution. The very same High Vitamin Butter Oil and Fermented Cod Liver Oil that Dr. Weston A Price discovered to provide a strong body, mind, and spirit in traditional cultures are the benchmarks of Green Pasture products. By focusing on traditional preparation and production methods, Green Pasture products bring to life the work of Dr. Price.

Green Pasture Founder and CEO Dave Wetzel long had an interest in traditional and sacred food for many years before he and his wife founded their company.

“It's my opinion that consuming traditional and sacred whole foods that have not been subjected to industrial processes is the way to stay healthy and deal with the stresses of modern life.” - Dave Wetzel, Green Pasture Founder

The Wetzel family farm is 140 acres of rolling Nebraska pastures where dairy milk is produced by cows that graze exclusively on a specially selected, rapidly growing grass. This specialized feeding and climate results in optimal levels of Activator X in every bottle of Green Pasture High Vitamin Butter Oil.

Healed a Cavity

Posted by Grant on 9th Feb 2015

I started taking this product after the dentist told me I had a cavity and looked for alternatives to getting my teeth drilled. Went back to the dentist one year later and my cavity was completely gone! Been taking it ever since and my teeth are great.

Great for the whole family

Posted by Amandika P on 29th Jan 2014

Here we are in the middle of cold-flu season and my school-aged children and I are experiencing an amazing lack of illness. My 9-year-old meat-shunning child's face looks healthier, and all our moods have improved. We are loving it and we are only a few weeks into it.
And my kids really appreciate the capsule-mode rather than liquid on a spoon.
Thanks to the Weston A. Price Foundation for steering me toward this product!
Hugs & Kisses :)!!!

1 week in...

Posted by Sarah on 4th Jan 2014

First of all, the shipment was fast! It came 2 day priority mail, nicely packaged.

It's been about 8 days since I started taken it so I haven't seen much changes yet. However, my nails, which have always been very brittle and would peel, have become really think and strong! In fact, today it was even difficult for me to clip them. This first positive change has me excited to see what the next few weeks will bring!

The taste isn't bad if you don't mind cinnamon, but the texture is what really grossed me out at first. I've found it's easier if I put it in the fridge so it hardens. Then I scoop out a heaping teaspoon, let it melt in a mouth for a couple seconds and swallow. It is oily, so I finish it with a sip and milk it's completely out of my mouth.

I only gave it 4 stars since it's too soon too tell how my body will react to it.
